In order to enable the Committee to appreciate within the widest possible context the outstanding universal value of each property nominated for inclusion in the World Heritage List, each State Party has been invited to submit to the Committee a tentative list of the cultural and natural properties situated on its territory and which it is considering nominating for inclusion in the List during the next five to ten years. In conformity with Article 11.1 of the Convention concerning the presentation of inventories, the Committee, at its 7th session, requested all States Parties that had not already done so to send this tentative list to the Secretariat. As from 1985 ICOMOS will not examine any nomination of cultural properties submitted by States Parties which have not forwarded such a tentative list. New States Parties are invited to present their tentative list as soon as possible. 2. Since the 8th session of the World Heritage Committee, the Secretariat has received new or revised tentative lists from the following States Parties: Algeria, Cyprus, Germany (Fed. Republic of), Guyana, Morocco, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Spain and Tunisia. The Beninese authorities have indicated that they intend to nominate only one property within the next five years: the Royal Palaces of Abomey. The Secretariat has been informed by the Canadian authorities that Canada wishes to modify its tentative list to include Waterton National Park. 3. The tentative lists submitted by Cyprus, Germany (Fed. Rep. of), Peru, Portugal and Spain are attached hereto. The other ·lists mentioned in paragraph 2 are being revised in consultation with ICOMOS. December 1984 Tentative list of properties already inscribed or which the Republic of Cyprus is considering nominating for inclusion in the World Heritage List. 1. Paphos (already inscribed) 2. The Cyprus Prehistoric Sites of (a) Khirokitia (b) "Tenta" and (c) "Ayios Dhimitrios" at Kalavassos 3. The Archaeological Site of Kourion 4. Twelve painted churches in the Troodos Region 5. The two five-dome churches of Ayia Paraskevi (Yeroskipos) and of Sts. Barnabas and Hilarion (Peristerona). 1.- Introductory Note The origins of Cypriote culture go back to the 7th millennium B.o. Already in the prehistoric period Cyprus had Close relations with the early civilizations of Syria, Asia Minor and later on with Egypt, Palestine and the Aegean. In the historical period relations developed with Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Greece and Rome. Later,Cyp~s as part of the Byzantine Empire not only participated in the Byzantine civilization, spread all over South and East Europe, but also had close relations with the Arab Empire. In the 12th century of our era Cyprus was conquered by the Crusaders and became the most important Crusader kingdom. The mutual in:f'l. uence ot the Byzantine Art of Cyprus and the art ot Mediaeval Europe created Crusader art. In the 15th cen~y the close relations with Italy increased when Venice took over Cyprus in 1489, and Renaissance art spread throughout the Island. 2.- Ao Prehistoric sties (a) Khirokitia, Neolithic settlement (Larnaca District): One of the best preserved Neolithic sites in the Mediterranean region, dating back to the 7th millennium B.c., ~mprising c1usters of circular houses and a defensive wall of ~eat monumental ~uality. (b) Kalavassos - "Tenta", ~eolithio settlement. (Lama ea District): A short distance from Khirokitia, an impoaing group of recently excavated Neolithic houses. This settlement, like that of Khirokitia, ic situated in an area which is very much unspoilt ~om the environ­ mental point of view. (c) Xalavassos ... "Ayioe Dhimitrios" (Larnaca District): A Late Bronze Age settlement where excavations started four years ago and continue every year. A large portion of the settlement has already been excavated, including a spacious public building built ot large hewn blocks. The settlement owes its importance to its proximity to the copper-mining area of Kalavassos. 3-- B. The Arohaio-Roman~arly Byzantine city site of Kourion. The area of the city site of ancient Kourion encloses monuments of considerable importance dating from the 8th century B.o. do\m. to the 5th century of our era. The ancient city was a pancyprian a:en-tre for cul.tural, religious and athletic activities. This is attested by the well preserved pUblic buildings of the Theatre, the Baths, the Roman Porum, the Nymphaeum, the Episcopical Early Christian Basilica, the Extra Mural Early Christian Basilica, the Stadium and the Sanctuary of Apollo Hyla tea which was the largest and most famous all over Cyprus. Moreover, the Roman mosaic compo­ sitions decorating the floors o-r the "House of Eustolios" the "House of Gladiators" and the "House o'f Achilles" are of great artistic achievement and may be classified among the best examples 1n Cyprus. 4.- c.

  • The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and The
    The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and the Margins of English Gothic Architecture MATTHEW M. REEVE For Eric Fernie This paper considers the sculpted capitals in Wells cathedral. Although integral to the early Gothic fabric, they have hitherto eluded close examination as either a component of the building or as an important cycle of ecclesiastical imagery in their own right. Consideration of the archaeological evidence suggests that the capitals were introduced mid-way through the building campaigns and were likely the products of the cathedral’s masons rather than part of an original scheme for the cathedral as a whole. Possible sources for the images are considered. The distribution of the capitals in lay and clerical spaces of the cathedral leads to discussion of how the imagery might have been meaningful to diCerent audiences on either side of the choir screen. introduction THE capital sculpture of Wells Cathedral has the dubious honour of being one of the most frequently published but least studied image cycles in English medieval art. The capitals of the nave, transepts, and north porch of the early Gothic church are ornamented with a rich array of figural sculptures ranging from hybrid human-animals, dragons, and Old Testament prophets, to representations of the trades that inhabit stiC-leaf foliage, which were originally highlighted with paint (Figs 1, 2).1 The capitals sit upon a highly sophisticated pier design formed by a central cruciform support with triple shafts at each termination and in the angles, which oCered the possibility for a range of continuous and individual sculpted designs in the capitals above (Fig.

  • 2010 Romanesque Confererence Abstracts
    ROMANESQUE AND THE PAST ABSTRACTS John McNeill An Introduction to 11th and 12th-Century Attitudes to the Past One of the questions the conference is implicitly posing is whether there is a discernably Romanesque sense of the Past - an attitude or set of approaches to the past different to that of, say, the fourteenth century - or the fourth? And whether there is any consistency in the way this might be expressed - both across media - and across regions. By way of an introduction this paper will largely concentrate on architecture, and look at the ways in which spolia - material fragments of the past - were reused. It will suggest that the allusive capacity of spolia was important in certain areas of Europe in creating an architecture which attempted to emulate the architecture of Late Antiquity, particularly in the second half of the 11th century, though for the most part spolia was used for very specific and local reasons. It will conclude with a very brief consideration of emulation and architectural referentiality. Eric Fernie The Concept of the Romanesque The Romanesque style is one of the most loosely defined and controversial of art historical periods. The paper will assess the case against it and then that for it, concentrating on architecture and examining in particular when it is supposed to have begun, how it related to the political units of the time, and how it is used in conjunction with other period labels. The presentation concludes with an assessment of the origins of the Romanesque in a broad historical context. Richard Gem St Peter’s Basilica in Rome c.1024-1159: a model for emulation? The aim of this contribution is to evaluate the possible role of the ancient basilica of St Peter in Rome as a model for architectural design and for religious practice in Europe between the second quarter of the eleventh century and the middle of the twelfth (from Pope John XIX to Pope Hadrian IV).

  • Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. the Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral
    Proceedings of the Third International Congress on Construction History, Cottbus, May 2009 Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. The Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral Miguel Ángel Alonso Rodríguez, Ana López Mozo, José Carlos Palacios Gonzalo, Enrique Rabasa Díaz Technical University of Madrid, Spain José Calvo-López Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Spain Alberto Sanjurjo Álvarez San Pablo-CEU University, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: Starting from the inaugural text of Philibert de L'Orme, stereotomic treatises and manuscripts are subject to the opposing forces of reason and fancy. The Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral provides an outstanding case study on this subject. It was built in 1571-1582 by Martín de Bérriz and Martín de la Haya, using an oval vault resting on trumpet squinches to span a rectangular bay. Bed joints and rib axes are not planar curves, as usual in oval vaults. This warping is not capricious; we shall argue that it is the outcome of a systematic tracing method. As a result of this process, the slope of the bed joints increases slightly in the first courses, but stays fairly constant after the third course; this solution prevents the upper courses from slipping. Thus, in the Nativity Chapel of Burgos Cathedral, the constraints of masonry construction fostered a singular solution verging on capriccio. It is also worthwhile to remark that the warping of the joints is not easily appreciable to the eye and that the tracing process does not seem to start from a previous conception of the resulting form. All this suggests that we should be quite careful when talking about the whimsical character of Late Gothic and Early Renaissance; in some occasions, apparent caprice is the offspring of practical thinking.
